Kimberly Rhode won the gold medal in women's skeet shooting Sunday, making her the first American to take an individual-sport medal in five consecutive Olympics.

Rhode tied the world record and set an Olympic record with 99 points. Wei Ning of China took silver with 91 points and Danka Bartekova of Slovakia got bronze by beating Marina Belikova of Russia in a shootout after they tied with 90 points.

At first I was like, "WTF? is this missing a target and still winning in Skeet?" In most competitions around here you need 99/100 or 100/100 to get into the Shoot Off.

Then I went to the range today and shot a round of Olympic Skeet. I didn't miss only one target, I got 17 first round and 15 the second round. Mounting the gun from low for station 8 is a bitch.

Well done for Rhode.

I'm glad you shot what amounts to an Olympic round. She's as good as they come, I met her In Vandalia ... nice woman
